Have the ads been better lately?

[jimmer]

At work, this site pops up as an unsafe site.

 

And when I access it on my phone, weird stuff pops up if I am on for any decent amount of time.

Is anyone else getting ads mostly for women's clothing? Like, all the time?

Lol ... I never noticed. If I were, I would just chalk it up to my online activity and wouldn't think anything of it as I mostly shop online.

 

Shoe ads come up quite a lot for me ... again, I think it's normal.

I think we're getting a good idea of what you do on the weekends given the ad choices... 

[Mike Sixel]

It happens at work, where I am not logged in and am anonymous, I'd guess.....it is also happening on the main vikings site I go to. Very odd indeed.

What I am getting is something that forces a scroll to the bottom of the page. Constantly. On iPad Safari.

See, that doesn't happen to me but very rarely, and I'm using my iPad when I'm on TD 75% of the time.

I don't get ads for women's clothes or shoes either.

 

Still the occasional mail-order bride.

I only get those while playing solitaire on my phone.

I'll take the mail order bride over the Whitesox ticket ads that keep popping up over here. 

 

Don't tell my wife that though. 

[Mike Sixel]

Since I commented, I am now getting ads for Dick's sporting goods and single women over 40....and women's clothing.....

Seriously considering tracking my ads on various sites now. I am kind of fascinated.

 

Now getting Harry's razors ads. Is there any way that is related to getting an email from dollar shave that my order shipped?

[diehardtwinsfan]

My understanding is that they can track your search behaviors with cookies.  As an example, if I start shopping around for running shoes or electronic devices, the ads will change almost immediately to highlight those items... usually too late, but I'm guessing it's tracking cookies they are keying off of. That's something Brock could answer better than myself. I'm more infrastructure/security. He's a web developer.

Via snail mail, yes. It started around when I got married. The sysadmin still hasn't tracked down the cause.

[snepp]

I just scored myself another fantasic russian bride, albeit on the office computer.

 

 

Makes you wonder what the office lady is doing in here during the day. 

[Squirrel]

I really wonder who is on the other end of these ads. I mean, I'm now getting ads for CA technologies ... I mean ... wth is that? Me getting any kind of technology ads is really funny. Also getting ads for xfinity and 1800flowers. Oh, and there's PayPal at the bottom of the thread. Hmm.

Makes me wonder what any of us is doing during the day, night, and other.

 

Actually, it doesn't ... I don't wanna know.

[Vanimal46]

Remember when one of the ad boxes here was a quiz? That was fun. Now that small talk is over, can you share your google history so I can score a mail order bride?

Maybe you are getting my ads, and I'm getting your ads?

I prefer to believe that each of us has secret lives to those around us but not to those who monitor our computers. Uh, wait a minute ... is my microwave turned off?

[Mike Sixel]

Interestingly, since I started tracking ads, I have not received one shoe or women's clothing ad....on any site.

Today I still have the flowers, but the others are all different ... Allstate, Spectrum internet, Nissan, American Red Cross ... interesting as I have not done any 'internetting' on insurance, internet, cars or donations. And, further, I don't use Allstage or Spectrum internet, don't drive a Nissan and never have, nor do I donate to the Red Cross. Oh, and I go to a local flower shop when I want to send flowers.

It's always nice to plan ahead in life, but this ad I'm seeing for senior citizen independent living may be outside of my demographic....

[Mike Sixel]

Today I'm getting wedding ring ads. Look, my anniversary is next month, but there is no way I'm buying more jewelry. No way.

[ashbury]

I'm getting ads for Minnesota Twins paraphernalia. How do they know?

[Vanimal46]

The ads really, really want me to fly to Branson, MO.

[Mike Sixel]

Wow. The ad server just served up a Mormon ad.... Good luck with that!
